MYIASIS SISTER - A film by J. Anthony Gonzales

Well, your not the mother of all thread-pimp-masters, haha.

Just wanted to say your on my first-to-view list whenever you can get something in.
Last fest you didn't make it so I was hoping for this time.

If not, let me suggest something. Maybe those things your trying to do are going to take longer than the 3 months typical of what a fest allows. So rather than try and cram everything in and settling for whatever seems passable and maybe backing out, why not see one through regardless if it takes 6 months or longer, whatever, and shoot a link out when it's done?

It seems if you miss this one again, that's 6 months of ideas, and good ones, washed up that your probably not going to pick up again. A bit of a shame.
Whereas, you could have had one done now. Know what I'm saying?

Thanks for the good word. Actually, what starts out as "a little something for the DVXUser fest" usually turns into a bigger project.

- The "LoveFest" film I was working on turned into my first feature (shopping festivals as we speak).

- The "TwilightFest" project is turning into a web series project that starts production next month.

So I definitely try not to shelf stuff once I start working on them. My problem is that I have too many ideas and trying to focus on just one at a time. :)

I've been without my computer (3-year-old + bottle of wood glue + computer = :zombie_smiley:) but will try and get something to screen for this one, even though it may be a work in progress. This one might make out of here as a web series as well (as I'm thinking about it).

I always have the intention of posting a lot, on these forums or even in my own threads, but things are always a bit crazy. But I'm going to try and post some updates over the last few weeks before the deadline. :beer:


Cheers!

Good to hear. I didn't know that. If it's any inspiration also, look what just won the Oscar for best animation short (La Maison en Petits Cubes) which was well earned and everything.

Listen, your ideas are better imo. It's just a matter of getting them done and devolped properly.
 
Great teaser. So wonderfully bizarre, I want to see more.

On a technical note, it appears the walk cycle is a little jerky. I think the problem is the right lower leg is much longer than the left. That was probably a conscious design choice, but it is somewhat distracting. The arm swings look great. Very smooth.

Love the overall aesthetic.

Look forward to seeing it completed!

I'l leaning towards that opinion as well. The jerkiness has a defininte aesthetic much like the afore mentioned Oscar winner animation that had moments of pause.

On close inspection though, I see the background is hick-upping around the same time as the hickup in the walk cycle. Maybe that's just a tech thing. It almost seems as though there is a frame rate conversion going on, possibly during the upload process? But I like jitter actually. Just as long is it's intentional and not all in sync and predicatable timewise.

The landscape artwork is pretty dodgy as you know. That could be fixed up.

Reminds me a bit of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' style, a bit, or maybe the Monty Python thing which was the originator of that 2D cutout style I believe.

I'm down for it. You've got my interest. :thumbup:
